a contribution from the province of Savoy for the construction of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Montmartre. Donations for the basilica began on January 29, 1889, and a contract was signed with the Paccard Brothers (Georges and Francisque) of Annecy-le-Vieux on October 17, 1889. The bell was cast on May 13, 1891, and was christened &#8220;Frances-Margaret of the Sacred Heart&#8221; (commonly known as the &#8220;Savoyarde&#8221;) on November 20, 1895. The bell produces a low, high C note and was delivered upon the completion of the campanile in 1898.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Originally mounted as a free-standing tower, the bell was reinstalled as a back-standing tower in 1947 due to the excessive pressure it was exerting on the belfry. In June 1999, it was classified as a historical monument. Despite being made over a century ago, the &#8220;Savoyarde&#8221; remains the largest bell in France and is considered one of the most beautiful bells in the world. It is also important to note that the annexation of Savoy to France in 1860 was still relatively recent at the time. Therefore, the &#8220;Savoyarde&#8221; symbolizes both allegiance to France and embodies Savoyard pride and regional identity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"wd-negative-gap elementor-section

\u00ab\u00a0Frances-Margaret of Sacred Heart\u00a0\u00bb, and she is better known as the \u00ab\u00a0Savoyarde\u00a0\u00bb. During the construction of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, rather than participate in a national subscription, the Savoyards preferred to distinguish themselves by offering a bell. Not just any bell, as it was already the biggest bell in France at that time.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">It should not be forgotten that the annexation of Savoy to France (1860) was still fairly recent. The \u00ab\u00a0Savoyarde\u00a0\u00bb can therefore be seen as both a symbol of allegiance to France and a personification of Savoyard pride and regionalism.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"wd-negative-gap elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-83559bc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"83559bc\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ef8603f\" data-id=\"ef8603f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7348be1 elementor-align-center elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-20890 elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"7348be1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/paccard.com\/en\/references-realisations-cloches-fonderie-paccard\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-angle-double-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">SHOW ALL PROJECTS<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Year of casting 1891 Weight 18,835 kgs Height 3.5 m Location Basilica of the Sacred-Heart in Montmartre La Savoyarde The<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18929,"menu_order":14,"template":"","project-cat":[76,67],"class_list":["post-19826","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project-cat-bourdons-en","project-cat-records"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Savoyarde - Sacred Heart - PACCARD<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Savoyarde is one of the most historically famous bells, cast in the workshops of PACCARD Foundry in 1891\u00a0;
